885. Your life your call - Junip



She's over you
Boy, you know it's true
But you can't stay here
You had it coming for years

Pull yourself together
Draw the line
Pull yourself together
Can't stand to see you cry

It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall
It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

It's over now
You've been taking your time
But you can't stay here
Boy, dry up your tears

Pull yourself together
Draw the line

It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall
It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

Pull yourself together
Draw the line
Pull yourself together
Can't stand to see you cry

No point in looking back
Over your shoulder
Leave your worries behind
For a while
You'll forget everything
As you get older

It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall
It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

Stand up, stand up
Stand up or enjoy your fall
It's your life, it's your call
Stand up or enjoy your fall

Pull yourself together
Draw the line
Pull yourself together
Can't stand to see you cry

884. Howl - Junip





f you weren't told about any divinity
if someone showed you our fallibilities
if you weren't told about the trinity
would you still know what in the world created all this

wouldn't you
like to figure out
what's pulling the strings

did you know about varying degrees of free will
compatible with senseless building blocks
did you know of adaptive or emergent properties
how a lump of grey is making you talk

now wouldn't you
like to figure out
what's making you howl

ill equipped to deal with infinities
never getting past the anthropic principles
ill equipped to deal with probabilities
can't help assigning intentions to all kinds of things

wouldn't you
like to figure out
what's pulling your strings

now we could still talk about moral responsibility
we could still talk about our common human goals
what leads to happiness what leads to suffering
what leads to exuberance and flourishing of the soul

but it would help
to figure out

883. Rope & Summit - Junip



we've got our rope and summit
got our rope and summit
but we need to wake up
baby wake up

unmasking your fears
one by one see them disappear
into the fog down below
slipping is fine
as long as you don't fall

still in the quiet morning breeze
swaying gently in unsuspecting dreams
clues of a gathering storm
it's time to wake up
time to move on
